Patio accent tables are an integral part of a stylish outdoor entertaining or lounging space. The great thing about accent tables are that they tend to beversatile and easy to move..
Apartment Therapy has pictures that feature a wide range of outdoor patio accent tables, including both contemporary and classic versions.
For anybody who likes to entertain or who takes advantage of warm weather months, accent tables reign supreme.
They are a functional design element that can be used alongside club chairs for cocktails in the evening or used next to lounges during the day to offer a place for lotions, cool drinks, books and tablets.
While functionality is key, you still must be mindful of material choices. Teak wood looks great but will be heavier than some metals, but metals can get extremely hot if left in the sun.
So considering the placement and application of your tables is important. Ceramic stools are now a popular option for outdoor entertaining. They do look chic and do double duty - offering extra seating as well as a small amount of surface space near chairs and lounges.
Small spaces and balconies can also play host to outdoor accent tables. I like glass top, woven or fretwork top tables that all have a lighter feel in smaller outdoor living applications.
Because balconies are usually modest in size, you can splurge on outdoor designer touches like stylish outdoor fabrics, seating and one-of-a-kind outdoor lighting.
1. If you want something bright and cheerful, I like the Retro Alabaster White Powdercoat Round Outdoor Side Table.
2. I like getting double duty from garden seats like the Throne Copper Patina Earthenware Accent Table.
3. Tables like the Eucalyptus Natural Outdoor Side Table are timeless.
4. The Set of 3 Rectangular Indoor-Outdoor Nesting Tables will allow you ample table top surface that takes up very little space when put away.
